Fountain Correctional Facility

Visiting Fountain Correctional Center takes some prep, especially your first time. Hours, visit length, and whether visits are face-to-face or video can vary—confirm the current schedule and rules before making the trip. You'll typically need to be on an approved visiting list, and some facilities require a visitor questionnaire or background check first. Many Alabama facilities use remote video visits or kiosk-based check-in, and visits are monitored and recorded. Schedule in advance through an online account or lobby kiosk. Need to add funds too? ADOC accepts deposits online or by phone through Access Corrections, at CashPayToday retail locations, or by mailed money order.

Searching for someone at Fountain Correctional Center? Use the AIS number if you have it. AIS (Alabama Institutional Serial) is ADOC's unique six-digit inmate identifier—it pulls the exact record without relying on name matching. No AIS? You can search by full or partial name, booking number, or admit/release date ranges. Just be ready to narrow your filters. Alabama search tools cap results at 50 records—if your query returns more, you'll only see the first 50. A typical search is straightforward: open the roster page, enter the AIS or other details, then tighten by date if needed.
